It can be used for chronic pain but in North America it isn't used much for pain.I would be willing to try it for chronic pain especially if I have (which I do) an addiction problem.Let us know how you make out.Good luck....Dave

i don't even know if my pm doc will prescribe it but i have heard it works well for addiction. i don't want to take percocet anymore because of the side effects. i want to feel normal again. i've been taking painkillers for over a year now for back pain and have had two surgeries. now i'm having neck problems but need something different. i guess a miracle drug. who knows. thanks, jayboy
